The Board denied the Veteran's claim for VR&E services under Chapter 31, as he did not have an employment handicap and was gainfully employed in a job that aligned with his abilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that the Veteran had overcome any impairment to employability due to his service-connected disabilities and was suitably employed in a stable job as a Training Specialist with the Naval Foundry and Propeller Center.
